Starter Control Relay Missing.

[StewartR]

Despite no mention in my Suzuki manual, I'm missing the starter control relay (SCR). According to the manual, the feed from the clutch switch is yellow/green and runs straight to the starter relay. According to the wiring diagram I found online, it's yellow/green into the SCR and yellow/black into the starter relay. The third wire from the starter control is a black/white earth. I have wiring for an SCR. If I jump yellow/green straight to yellow/black it's all good, the starter cranks, the bike starts.

And finally the question - can I leave this jump in place or do I actually need the SCR?

A loopback plug is standard - the relay you're referring to is only found on the US models, I suspect you're looking at a diagram for a Yankee motosickle.

Yes, defo a US diagram but I figured the provision in the loom meant the unit was there, or at least should have been there. Guess it's a one loom fits all job. Well that's a result. MOT time for me then :) cheers for the info.

Actually thinking about it, I think the same relay may have been used on some Euro spec bikes too.

Anyhoo, that plug is a convenient place to connect the starter lockout alarm connection. As standard it has a plug with two of the three pins looped back, which obviously is the same as a relay with contacts being shut - the two wires are connected together.

Spookily enough it was removing my dead Meta alarm that left me looking for what was missing.
